<![CDATA[PA 18.00.41 and Start Menu]]>Start menu folder.
At least on my PC PowerArchiver 2018 still uses a Start menu folder called “PowerArchiver 2017”.

So now when you upgrade from 2017 to 2018 all is nice and proper on Windows 7 and earlier system. Thanks!

@brian-gregory try deleting the program group and simply reinstalling over existing setup.

It should be PowerArchiver group now.

If there was a previous group, it will use it hence the issue.

thanks!

I just tried that.
It just re-created the “PowerArchiver 2017” group but with only one icon in it called “PowerArchiver 2018”.

Yeah, I just checked it now to be sure - so it requires uninstall and then next install of Pa 2018 will properly have PowerArchiver group… I guess it takes info from the registry about already existing program group.

thanks!

Yes that works. But I had to manually delete the old “PowerArchiver 2017” group. Uninstalliing did not remove it.

This board was semi down again saying “connection lost” earlier so I couldn’t reply earlier.
